At present, fully mechanized cultivation (FMC) has begun to be utilized in commercial sugarcane production China. To provide new insights into whether cane yield and health are altered by cultivations, the endophytic microbial community structure stems of that underwent conventional artificial (CAC) were compared. The results showed diversity richness microorganisms, except for bacterial sugarc...

BACKGROUND Driven by a range of sustainability challenges, e.g. climate change, resource depletion and expanding populations, a circular bioeconomy is emerging and expected to evolve progressively in the coming decades. South Africa along with other BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China) represents the emerging bioeconomy and contributes significantly to global sugar market. In our r...

The long term use of heavy weighted agricultural vehicles for sugarcane cultivation has caused lasting soil physical and hydraulic properties altering. However, information on the extent change is scant. In this context, a study was conducted in 2017 to investigate effect mechanized status at three pioneer Ethiopian Sugar Estates. order achieve objective, Composite core samples were collected f...

To the Editor: In a recently published article in AJKD, Dr Correa-Rotter and colleagues attempt to disentangle the causes of an epidemic of chronic kidney disease (CKD) of unknown origin that is devastating farming communities in Central America, reviewing potential risk factors and causes and summarizing evidence for and against each. We believe the method used to assess the evidence was flawe...

In order to obtain the cellulolytic bacterial consortia, sediments from Great Basin hot springs (Nevada, USA) were sampled and enriched with cellulosic biomass as the sole carbon source. The bacterial composition of the resulting anaerobic ethanol-producing celluloytic bacterial consortium, named SV79, was analyzed. With methods of the full-length 16S rRNA librarybased analysis and denaturing g...
